Forever Young

Driving to work today I heard a song that I've heard a million times before, but this time it made me start crying like crazy. I do that a lot now that I'm pregnant. Thank goodness I have hormones to blame it on! It's interesting how having a child can change your view of the world. It turned this song I've heard hundreds of times into one of the most beautiful songs I have ever heard. Who knew Bob Dylan could write something so touching. The version I heard was by The Pretenders though. It speaks to all my hopes and dreams for my children.

Forever Young

May God bless and keep you always

May your wishes all come true

May you always do for others

And let others do for you.

May you build a ladder to the stars

And climb on every rung

May you stay forever young

May you grow up to be righteous

May you grow up to be true

May you always know the truth

And see the lights surrounding you.

May you always be courageous

Stand upright and be strong

May you stay forever young

May your hands always be busy

May your feet always be swift

May you have a strong foundation

When the winds of changes shift.

May your heart always be joyful

May your song always be sung

May you stay forever young

Forever young, forever young

May you stay forever young.
